Somewhere in the dark confines of a soggy cell in Tihar jail a conversation broke out between four inmates.
Terrorist A: So are all of you guys here under TADA too?
~the rest in unison~: Yes
Terrorist B: So, how many hits this year?
Terrorist C: Don’t know, only started counting since April.
Terrorist D: I crossed 10,000 a [...]

My heart goes out to you.
We stand by all the survivors,
May God give you strength.
We mourn all those who perished,
May you rest in peace!

Its a sad day! Yet again..

Watching cricket so early in the morning is not the wisest thing to do, I feel. These Australian matches are always broadcast at odd times. By the time it finished in the afternoon I was feeling too lazy to do anything at all. So I generally rolled over and dozed off most of the day. [...]

Supemus tagged me recently and here is the response.
This is based on the Empire’s list of Top 50 Independent films.
 
It is very difficult to judge a list like this because many of these films were released decades ago. Hence one can’t really compare them with each other or even the movies of the current era. [...]

Every alien superhero has a second home. My Smallville is India. These days I am back at the base station. Have been here for a fortnight now in fact. India O India.. So much has changed and yet nothing much has changed. Anyhow, we have reached an interesting crossroads now. Hopefully we move forward [...]

Even people who think they’re talking about global warming or Nelson Mandela are somehow inadvertently talking about love. I wonder what happened suddenly. Perhaps it’s the winter. Everyone wants to be warm n’ [...]

I am surrounded by a weird group of friends, both physical and imaginary. Did I hear some of you say – “I can see why?” Suit yourself!

We’d been driving for about an hour on that long, uneventful, boring highway when someone spotted what looked like some sort of backwaters or a bay. This was slightly alarming because we were supposedly, or should have been, at least 60 miles away from any sort of sea. This was even more alarming because none of us was high at the time, or at least we thought so!

It was a bright summer’s day, the sun so warm and only the odd cloud in sight. A great day indeed considering how rare it was, in these parts. Little did I know what was about to follow would make that day even far.. far more special than that.
As I strolled casually along this [...]

As a kid my heart would always fill with joy and my face light up with excitement upon sighting one. From my point of view, the only positive thing about it being overcast or rainy was that I might possibly get to see one. There just weren’t enough for me. Never thought I’d catch it [...]

There are questions which irritate me to no end. Yes, yes.. although normally, the jedi is as cool as a cucumber, he gets majorly irked by a few things. Among which is the question:
“So is the glass half empty or half full?”
Everytime someone asks me this, I feel like picking up the nearest [...]
